Abstract
A lubricating device for a knitting machine capable of feeding lubricating oil in proper quantities while eliminating the necessity of forming the oil into mist, to thereby accomplish a lubricating action with high efficiency without deteriorating the environment. The lubricating device includes oil/air mixing sections which are defined in a lubricating distributor so as to communicate with oil passages and air passages. The mixing sections each are adapted to mix lubricating oil fed thereto through the oil passage by means of an oil feed valve and compressed air fed thereto through the air passage by means of an air feed valve, resulting in the lubricating oil being fed to a lubricated section of the knitting machine while being carried on the compressed air.
